Hello Everyone,

I stayed home from work today because I woke up with awful cramps and thought I was getting AF she is due today but its now 2pm and she has not showed. I truely believed I was pregnant until the bad cramps this morning. I was sad and DH and I said oh well maybe next month but now I am starting to think AF isn't coming. Could it be possible to have bad cramps and still be pregnant ? I have been crampy off and on for 2weeks now but not like this morning it was bad enough to take advil and use a heating pad. I have had all the signs and symptoms of being pregnant but the HPT are negative and then the cramps this morning so I thought I must not be pregnant. Be honest and tell me if you think I could be or that I will just get AF tonight. Normally when I get cramps like this I have AF within about 2hrs. What do you all think ???? THanks for your help.

Hi Nicole,

I did not have AF-like cramps before finding out I was pregnant. I had these weird pinching/twinges in my abdomen that were not painful at all. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you are having AF cramps :-(. I don't know though, everyone is different!! Good luck to you though! I hope you get your BFP SOON!

When I was PG with DS I had the same thing you described. I started feeling cramps so I started taking Advil and assumed AF was on her way. After a week of cramps and being a week late it finally dawned on me that AF wasn't coming and I was PG. I didn't realize that cramps were a sign of PG. So I wouldn't give up hope just yet! Have you taken a test?

Thank you, so there is still hope. I took a test this morning and it was negative. I feel like I am losing my mind :)

Hi Nicole,

I just wanted to post and say that I had BAD cramps the day I tested. I hadn't seen AF since Aug. but I had just come off the BCP. So last week, I woke up with BAD cramps, real bad. On a whim I tested that afternoon (I was addicted to testing, having not seen AF in over a month) and it came out positive. I've since read that cramps can be caused when the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. So maybe there's hope. I've been having light ones off and on, there getting different now though, more twingy than radiating cramps, if that makes sense.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!
